The lovely Drew Barrymore will be honored by the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) for her work to defeat Prop 8, which banned same sex marriage in California.

GLAAD will present Drew with the Vanguard Award, which is

given to media professionals who have increased the visibility and understanding of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community.

Drew sounds thrilled with the honor:

“I was born, bred and raised among diversity, it has defined me and made me the person I am today… I’m honored and humbled to be receiving this award.”

She’ll be formally presented with her award at the 21st Annual GLAAD Media Awards on April 17th in Los Angeles.  Congratulations, Drew!
